If you’re ever looking for a snack that will outlast even your great-great-grandkids, look no further than honey! This golden delight is basically immortal. Archeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old—and guess what? It's still perfectly edible!

Why doesn’t honey spoil? It’s got a few sweet tricks up its sleeve. First, honey is naturally low in moisture and high in sugar, which means bacteria and microorganisms can’t survive in it. It’s like a no-entry zone for germs! On top of that, honey contains a bit of hydrogen peroxide, which acts as a natural preservative.

Plus, the bees are pretty smart chemists themselves. They fan the nectar with their wings to remove moisture and add special enzymes that make honey unfriendly to anything that wants to grow. It’s almost like nature’s original canned food!

So next time you see a jar of honey at the back of your pantry, don't worry about the expiration date—it’s got none! Honey is nature's timeless treasure, always ready to sweeten your tea, toast, or even your adventure into ancient history.
